In designing new offices for PricewaterhouseCoopers along London's River Thames, Norman Foster's architecture firm spent an extra 1.2 million pounds (1.5 million euros) with an eye on climate change.

That wasn't enough. Four years after moving in, PwC is paying 100,000 pounds for new barriers to protect against flooding below ground level.

"There's a serious risk," said Jon Barnes, head of building and technical services at PwC in London. The flood doors, which will be installed in the next few weeks, are for "critical plant areas so that if we do have a flood, we're not destroying our transformers."

Legionnaire Rick O’Connell has married his Egyptologist girlfriend Evelyn and the couple has settled in London, where they are raising their young son Alex. The family’s domestic tranquility is shattered when the 3,000-yearold mummified corpse of Imhotep is resurrected once again to resume his evil quest for immortality.

Pekka Ottavainen, the board chairman of the nuclear energy company Fennovoima Oy, estimates that the ownership structure of the Pyhäjoki nuclear power plant project must be resolved by next summer. Regardless of yesterday’s announcement by the German energy company, E.On to withdraw from Finland and thereby abandon its 34 per cent stake in Fennovoima, the chairman remains confident about the project’s future. According to Ottavainen, all Fennovoima’s stakeholders – including E.On – are committed to completing the next stage of the Pyhäjoki project. Meanwhile, the second largest stakeholder of Fennovoima, the stainless steel manufacturer Outokumpu has communicated it has no intentions to bump up its stake in the project.
